It's the one series of Star Wars books I have no desire to ever read, and that counts GoDV. I'll look forward to your article Coop, I enjoy some of the discussion that comes up around FotJ. Considering that the alternative is going back to the variety of Disney rumor threads...

Or the NJO thread! We can discuss meaningless hypothetical castings of the characters!

Too late. I have to say though, the book, and the series itself, wasn't as bad as I was expecting from reading about them here. They get off track from their original storyline of Ben and Luke on a journey (which I enjoyed) pretty fast and switch back to normal Jedi Vs. Sith war ( and Allana seemed just like a short adult). But I was expecting something along the lines of:
Luke: Who's da bomb?
Han: You da bomb!

I’ve always thought that more could be done with Han Solo’s ancestors — the royal house of Corellia — and brash Corellian prince-admirals would seem perfectly suited to swashbuckling stories.

leads me to wonder just how a story of Corellia's Jonash e Solo's resolving the last Alsakan Conflict between Alsakan and Coruscant (by defeating both sides, and walking into the Republic Senate to dictate terms at swordpoint) could be made into a full-length novel, or even series.

Jedi Path had comments written by Thame Cerulian about adventures that sounded very swashbuckling. In't have the book with me but that time period (c. 100 BBY) would be a good setting for Errol Flynn stories.

Yeah, I would absolutley love to see that. There's so much historical material out there that would make for great stories if Star Wars would branch a little farther away from the films, but that definitely stands out as a great potential swashbuckling war epic.

Very timely, given that Goodwin's up for the Aluminum Falcons Hall of Fame right now. Everybody should read that piece, and then they should read the Goodwin/Williamson strips. They're just that good. I can't praise those comics enough. Cannot. Praise them. Enough.

I have read them up to the Ackbar/Snakes story (many many times), hopefully the whole series gets collected soon into Omnibuses so I can finally read the evacuation.
When read in the original form as black-and-white strips Williamson's artwork is even better, but there's a lot of recollecting, especially on Saturdays when more people would miss the paper. Sometimes the story wouldn't continue at all but Williamson would draw a strip-long panel of the last image.
